Default Converting to Serpentine belt

Does anyone know where you can get a kit to convert from pulley system of belts to one serpentine belt system? I have a 1979 K-5 that squeals like a pig when I turn from a stopped position. My pullys are a little misalinged. Help please?

Which pulley is out of alignment. I would think it would be a lot easier and cheaper to align a pulley than to try to relace all your pulleys, add a tensioner and possibly an idler pulley.
Even if you did convert to a serpentine belt you'd still have to have all the components aligned.
See if you can figure out what's out of alignment and let us know. We can probably figure out a fix for you.

You can search E-BAY for those serpentine systems. I have seen them on there from time to time. They are the OEM used systems off the newer trucks, and should work.
